What the Oxford fans are saying

Considering they have form for thinking they are second coming of Brazil from 2014, they are a bit quieter this time.
 
It'll be a tight couple of games, both teams like to play although I think we are a little more organised and tighter defensively. Oxford on their day can be ruthless however, with the likes of Henry key to their plans. We know how studious Critchley is so I'm sure over the next week he'll be drilling the players. It will be brilliant to have fans back and hope we come into the games with a pretty much fully fit and refreshed squad.
 
"To be fair, they didn't give us a sniff at ours. But that was our 17th match in 57 days and both Henry and Long were out. We'll be a different proposition with a full complement of well-rested players."
 
Quite funny that they are accusing us of being cocky on here* and just expecting to win. They have a poll on the same thread where 75 % of them expect to beat us. 😁

* yes there are a few. Most of us realise, from our past experiences, that any team that reaches the POs can quite easily go on to win them.

Long is almost certainly out for next week and Henry was injured Sunday and is in doubt.

Meanwhile we have Keshi, Stewart, Big Marv and Madine back. From the 1st game Virtue is not available but KaiKai and Ward should be available.

I’d almost forgotten about Virtue such has been the level of performance of our other players.
 
Love to know where these have come from
------
I’ve seen a lot of confidence from their end!

Some quotes:

“...when we bossed them at their place a couple of months ago ! They didn’t have many chances then and against our defence I’d like to hope they won’t get many this time either.”

“The way they play will suit us. Just like we beat them a few weeks ago. Nothing to fear at all”

“We've just had four straight wins without conceding a single goal... we have no reason to not be confident.”

“They’re gonna need to pull off another 6-0 win after we destroy them on their campus”

“This league is very poor. Oxford just scraped in. Don’t worry.”

“This is not arrogance. This is not tangerine specs bravado. We have no one to fear in these playoffs.”

“If the away game at their place was anything to go off we should see them off.”

“Don’t worry we will beat them.”
 
This is not arrogance. This is not tangerine specs bravado. We have no one to fear in these playoffs.

GUILTY AS CHARGED 🤷‍♂️

And I stand by every word.

It's a bizarre sensation when there is stuff to play for isn't it. Excitement mixed with nerves, greatest feeling ever when it comes off - hope we can feel it again come May 30th!
 
The game is what it is. We will sit and suffer every minute of it. They will also sit and suffer every minute of it. One team goes through, one doesn't.

They should be confident. They are on a nice run of form. But so should we. Because we are an absolute bastard to score against and we have pace, power and guile that has scored goals over a far far longer period than 4 games.

If they beat us over the 2 games they will deserve it. Likewise if we win so will we.

Bring it.

Tough game, counting down for days now to kick off in my head, I will be a myriad of emotion over all the games. It will come down to which team doesn’t freeze and plays there normal game or raises it a bar, biggest gonads win.
 
I’d expect that all 5 games will be tight, whoever is involved in them. The bookies won’t have much between the teams at all.

From our perspective, I’d think that psychologically and tactically it would be better not to be chasing the game in the second leg.
